The Coincident Indexes combine four state economic indicators — employment, the unemployment rate, average manufacturing hours worked and wages/salaries (deflated by the consumer price index). The trend for each state tracks the gross state product.

Texas was one of 15 states that saw their indexes rise between 0.6 percent and 1 percent.

During the past three months, the Coincident Indexes increased in 37 states, decreased in 11 and remained stable in two.

The Philadelphia Fed’s Coincident Index for the United States rose 0.2 percent in September.
